Park Road and he remembers the
Street Party. There was a second
street party on VJ Day in August
1945. For the curious, the box

actually an upside-down soapbox! It
reads: Cooperative/CWS/ SOAPS/? Note

St Mary's Church, West Front restored in 1991.By
1991 the West Front of St. Mary's church had
perished to such an extent that immediate action was
required. Repair to the string coarse (immediately
above the arcading) a decade or so earlier, had
prevented further ingress of water, however repair
had become essential. Funds were raised from within
the parish from generous parishioners and grants,
including English Heritage (now Historic England).
